New Idea

A solar survey app that has been approved for sale on iTunes. The UK Solar Survey app for UK home owners uses the iPhone to do a "self survey" and see if energy consumption, orientation, shading, roof space and application are correct for PV. Consumers enter details about their property and use their finger to draw the obstructions and shading on the roof space, then the software's algorithms do the rest.

Andy Proctor, creator of the app, saw the iPhone as the best platform with it's built in compass and access to customers interested in PV with iTunes.

The benefit is an independent result that you can then compare with your quote from a PV company and interrogate the quote, the company and the price.

You can also check out the feasibility before contacting an installer, as well as selecting to have MCS installers contact you after seeing your results, should you choose to offer this information to the installers on the UK Solar Survey database of installers.

The UK Solar Survey website has more information and the app can be downloaded on iTunes.

The android and web-based version are due out Q4 of 2011
